Preparing Acrylic Edges.

Over the Week, I have been working on preparing the edges of the Acrylic sheet. The sheet I got was some what uneven and being noob it cost me much time to clear the edges (Also could not devote much time for the project due to diwali).

My first step was to make the Edges even for This I used knife to cut out all the protruding edges.

After cutting out edges I filed the edges with a file around 25 frictions at each place.
The first finish edge look somewhat like this.

Once filing on all surfaces is done, I used emery stone then 150 grit sand paper then 1500 grit sand paper.

After Sanding and some rubbing with cotton cloth, the edges look much clearer but not transparent. To make them transparent it took a hell lot of work. I put some brasso on edges and rubbed the edges with cotton cloth, the edges are more clear but still not 100% transparent means when I put the screen on printed paper I can recognize the color of the written material from other side but could not read it. The last thing I done is used hair drier to blow hot air over the edges, This made more clearer, still cannot read whole thing written on the paper below other edge but I can recognize some letters. The edges now look like as below, (I am not too good in photography, I will learn after completing this project)
